'"'h "i'' le received painful Durns
i principally upon his back. His cs.
y cape from horrible death was mi.
raculous. He fell back wards into the
kettle, but retained presence of mind
sufficient to roll over quickly 10 the
floor. Had he fallen face forward
death would undoubtedly have been
, the little fellows fate. Some colored
people who witnessed the accident
stripped the clothing off the child and
T plunged him into cold water. DR..
Rollow has the patient In charge
Tobacco Leaf.
Not long ago Esq. Fritz, of Fair
view, fined Henry Long, COL, and an
lrishman, whose name we failed to
learn, each $25 and 10 days in jail for
Certifying their persons with conceal
ed deadly weapons. The imprison-
ment part Of the sentence was sus-
pended and Jailer Long wrote to ESQ.
Fri!z, making such q vigorous pro;oa:
against losing his IS in each case that
the Esquire sent him the orders for
their Incarceration Saturday. Henry
Long is already in Jail laying out his
fine of$25 but the Irishman has not
yet been arrested.
In this issue we call attention to
the advertisement Of j. S. Brown,
distiller and wholesale liquor dealer,
Springfield, Tenn. He makes and
handles pure Robertson county sour
and sweet mash WHISTLES and apple
and peach brandies. His goods
range in age from two TO eight years.
Amy orders sent Mr.. Brown will re-
ceive prompt personal attention and
satisfaction will be guaranteed. Send
him trial order and he will treat
you right.
Cal Fairleigh, COL, was arrested
Sunday for drunkenness. His trial
came up yesterday In the police court
and Judge Brasher assessed fine
against him OF 81 and trimmings.
Fairleigh stated that the whisky he
drank was given to him by J. r.
Hicks aud Geo. Payne, col. who live
at DIR. Woods Lower place near
town. Attorney Ferguson had sub
poonas issued ifor them and will
force them TO tell where they bought
their supply of liquor.
The cities Of Clarksville and Madi-
sonville have both recently establish
ed chain gang for working the city
prisoners on the streets. This system
by which convicts are made self-sup-
porting should be adopted in all cities
We have frequently called the atten-
tion of our city council to the matter
and we trust one Of the earliest acts
of the newly elected Board will be to
inaugurate this economic way Of
Furnishing criminals.
Died, near Trenton, Ky, Saturday,
the Sd Of December, 1887, Mrs. Mag
gle Waller, wife of Henry Waller,
aged about 30 years. Her death was
caused by the birth of twins, neither
Of which survived her. Her bereav-
ed husband has the sympathy of the
community. He had been married
not quite year. His wife was a
daughter Of the late A. ]. Crutchfield.

Pig Green, COL, was arrested and
jailed Friday for grand larceny. lie
stole two overcoats from Pye & Wal
ton and was caught wearing one of
them. He Is q negro boy of very
bad character and has been before
the courts heretofore for various
malsfeaSancss. Pig will doubtless be
put in the pen and kept there long
enough to develop into hog.
Whisky flowed like water all day
Saturday and Sunday. There were
number of conspicuous cases ofbois-
terous drunkenness. City Attorney
Ferguson says he will hereafter have
every man who is drunk on the streets
on Sunday arrested. They must take
their jugs home and got drunk on
their own premises and not parade
the streets smelling like a still house
and making themselves offensive to
people going to and from church.
The monthly prize drill of the Lath-
am Guards took place Friday even
ing, the prize as the best drilled SOL
dier going to Sergt. Jack Hanbsry.
John Savage was his closest COMPETE
tor. After the drill Sergt Hanbery
gave an oyster supper and the
Armory was made the scene of one of
the most enjoyable dances OF the sea-
son, the bellies Of the city being out
In force.
While grinding pepper at bis gro
